| Mr Peggotty. "I'm a-going to seek my niece through the wureld. I'm a-going to find my poor niece." |
| Mr Peggotty and Little Em'ly "I am as rough as a Sea Porkypine: but no-one, unless, mayhap, it is a woman, can know, I think, what our little Em'ly is to me." |
| Mr Micawber makes Punch. "Punch, my dear Copperfield.... like time and tide, waits for no man." |
| "His clothes were shabby, but he had an imposing shirt-collar on. He carried a jaunty sort of stick, with a large pair of rusty tassels to it, and a quizzing-glass hung outside his coat." |
| Yet another impression of Mr Micawber. |
| " 'Me, Master Copperfield ?' said Uriah. 'Oh, no ! I'm a very 'umble person' ". |
| "If there is a scoundrel on the Earth that scoundrel's name is - Heep". Uriah Heep and Mr Micawber. |
| Old Peggoty. |
| David Copperfield. |
| "Still nobody appeared to claim the youngster from Blunderstone, Suffolk." |
